About

I grew up in Rochester, NY eating too many garbage plates and white hots (google them), and currently live in Salem, MA (yes, the one with the witches) with my boyfriend Andrew and our Pitbull/Lab mix Baxter, who we rescued from Georgia in May 2014.

My love of food started with watching chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Ming Tsai on public television, and grew stronger as Food Network gained popularity. As a 12 year old, I preferred to spend my Friday nights watching Iron Chef (and being scared of the sound of the sword) than doing whatever fun things kids my age were doing.

I focus on making/re-creating recipes I am inspired by on Instagram (addicted), other food blogs (some of my favorites: smitten kitchen, joy the baker, skinny taste, and sprouted kitchen), and from my family’s archives. I like to cook and bake about equally (though my baking has evolved, I still have trouble with that important thing called ‘measuring’), and my blog is a reflection of how I cook and eat at home.

Some of my other hobbies are reading (my favorites: The Art of Racing in the Rain, Paper Towns, Wild, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy), spinning, Yelping, and running.

But back to food…I’m a sucker for a good pepperoni pizza, soft serve, and dry champagne. I think all the best foods have elements of crunch, salt and sweetness, and I always save the best bite for last.

It is seriously TOO FUNNY that you mention garbage plates in the intro to your page- my college roommate is from Roch and they are still the first item on my to do list every time I am in town! I was just trying to explain them to my students last week! Thanks for linking up today!

about me

I grew up in Rochester, NY and am making Salem, MA my home.
I'm a home cook, yoga novice, and lover of all things dog (especially mine, Baxter). I work as a digital strategy consultant at IBM iX. I'm based out of Cambridge, MA, but travel all over for work. One of the best perks of my jobs is scoping out the food scene in tons of cities around the world!
